Before the animation industry became dominated by the major studios and their familiar stable of characters, there were other companies who entertained theater audiences with wild excursions into cartoon fantasies. Experimentation was the rule as the boundaries of cinematic animation were being pushed to the limit and many of these early productions have the raw look of a work in progress. These classic animated shorts from the early days of sound were created by nearly forgotten production pioneers like Van Beuren Studios and Max and Dave Fleischer. Hilarious, inventive, sometimes risque and often surreal, these films are the fabulous forerunners of every cartoon we've ever watched in the theater or on TV. Laugh again at the cartoons your grandparents enjoyed in the 1930s. This unique DVD includes the following cartoons Review: Great! - A great dvd packed with unique old cartoons. Review: Very Bizarre But Exactly What I Wanted - Old cartoons were super weird and this DVD got a bunch of them in one easy place. I bought this solely for "Cobweb Hotel" because that cartoon was one of my favorites as a kid (even though it absolutely terrified me). I can't wait to watch the others on here.

Very Bizarre But Exactly What I Wanted
Old cartoons were super weird and this DVD got a bunch of them in one easy place. I bought this solely for "Cobweb Hotel" because that cartoon was one of my favorites as a kid (even though it absolutely terrified me). I can't wait to watch the others on here.

Cheap, no-high quality transfers
Alpha Video/Oldies.com, the maker of this dvd is never known to produce high quality transfers. However, absent availability from other more capable and better sources, this will do. It's quality you can live if you don't mind transfers that are way under the threshold of being a decent transfer. The cartoons themselves are fun to watch and would have been nice to keep for archival purposes if they were cleaned up to high grade quality. 3 stars, I think is generous.

These made me smile.
This DVD was just a lot of fun. It's so easy to look past any salt & pepper on the screen, long white lines that flash on the screen now and then. All those little things just add to the experience, and it's great. Watch this a few times a year, on cold rainy days, in the depths of winter, after a hard week or a bad day. A big cup of soda or an oversized mug of hot chocolate at your side and you're all set. Perfect for any age.
